Ngh...

So one of us has to pick.....

[gandere]

I'll do it. [ Volunteers before anyone else has to.

Instantly regrets it. ]

[acemedium]

[....]

Are you sure?

[gandere]

Y-Yeah... I'm sure.

[ She can't stand the thought of Coco, Star or Flame being hurt... and probably Mushroom. ]

Mushroom can take care of things if something happens to me, but I doubt it will. I've got a plan.

[acemedium]

[She already hates this. Sucks in a breath]

Which one?

[gandere]

[ Trying to maintain her straight face. ] See, I'm royalty and not just that, our patron is the Empress.

So I'm thinking if we take that card... it'll be all right. She'll be watching out for us.

[acemedium]

[She doesn't believe that, but--]

If you're sure.

[dirtdevil]

[not even remotely ok with this decision but arguing with Schooler is pointless]

[gandere]

[ Damn straight it is. ]

[wingtamer]

[literally can't even try to reject this because someone has to do it and we really shouldn't get into fights over who gets to suffer first]

[but he can look sadly (and pained) in your direction]

M-Miss Schooler..

[gandere]

It'll be fine. [ Hopefully. ]

If not, we can make everything right after the game. I know where to find this Echo and without his body around, we can have some real fun.

[wingtamer]

[real fun..........]

..i.. if you say so. [hrrrrn 8(]

[gandere]

Don't worry, we've got this. [ Yes, try to tell someone who has no kidneys not to worry. ]

[wingtamer]

[slow..breath...]

M-mm.
